Sridevi's was the best of the year no doubt...her expressions were spot on no doubt...like the scenes where in she is able to find her way to the English Class or the scene where her husband says ' She was born to make Laddus'...For those of u who think she over-acted, then I cant even begin to tell how bad the other actresses were :P
Actresses today are not even 10% of what Sridevi is..:)

No doubt Sridevi is brilliant in EV and deserves to be in top3 but how the accent of a marathi woman resembles to southindian. isnt it so?

Well.. Sridevi never tries to speak in Marathi in the movie ! And accent doesn't originate from ur birth or birthplace ! Otherwise, India wudnt be a flourishing BPO centre, isnt it ???? And for all that, we dont even know if Shashi Godbole was Marathi or not ! The script doesnt suggest that ! The surname cud be of her husband ! She cud be a south indian born !! Just saying that these are possibilities ! Dont overlook a superlative performance for silly reasons !

Yes Mr. Dhoni. When a real life personality like Mr. S. R. Gaikwad has a pakka South Indian Twang in his hindi. Our Shashi Godbole has the same on screen. well S. R. Gaikwad is Shivaji Rao Gaikwad i.e. RAJNIKANTH. As Santhosh said Dont overlook a superlative performance for silly reasons !
Sridevi over-acts and critics found it superb! Her mannerism upsets me so much that one feels experience before camera over the years does not count, she has done such mannerisms even in TV serial " Tamil Lady". The plot in the film raises above her acting and above all I find critics often over-rate performances, Sridevi is confidential actor no doubt, but she never works on script.

Ohh the OO famous christie John is back .. Who once (while EV released) had problem with Sri s speech saying "I cannot get what Sri speaks" now has problems with her acting. Grow up Christie .. just coz u luv somebody else doesnt mean others have to hate Sri. :)
Thought Priyanka s fabulous act in Barfi was left out citing a supporting character. If so Kalki in Shangai had a smaller character than PEECEE .. Then PC deserves to be in Top 5. Sorry not @ No. 1. Its reserved for THE DEVI.

true . Kalki was over the top in shanghai. Even sridevi over acted in english vinglish. My top 3 performances go to alia bhatt(SOTY), katrina(JTHJ)and kareena(EMAET)

Dear Aadmi(?), Plz dnt insult Alia and katreena by comparing them with sridevi or vidya. They stand no where in comparision to alia or katreena. Infact alia and katreena are greater actresses than nutan,smitapatil,meena kumari,nargis etc. Kajol,shabana,madhuri,urmila,manisha,tabu,dimple,rekha etc need to take acting lessons from alia and katreena. If they were working in hollywood by now they would have won 15oscars each in 5years only :)
